connect if it's wide open? If you can't connect at all to open networks, then try a FULL RESTORE of the iTouch software (plug it into iTunes, select the device on the left and click the RESTORE button on the settings page). This will erase all data!!!! Still can't connect to open, wpa, or otherwise then your unit has a bum radio. Take it back to the store (if you still can) or to an Apple Store Genius bar (appointment required via apple.com) to swap you out or send in for repair.
